The Pull Up 3 is a daily blog of 3 college basketball games that I believe you could exploit and make some cash on. Check in every day for your picks of the day’s best college hoops action. 

Season Record: 2-1

Southern Illinois @ Louisville (-16 1/2) 7:00 pm EST

Pick: Louisville (-16 1/2)

Louisville welcomes (2-0) Southern Illinois into the KFC Yum! Center for an early season matchup.  Although Louisville hasn’t come out the gates swinging, this should be the game where they find their stride.  Scoring from Deng Adel and the ability to out rebound the Salukis should prove for a Louisville cover.

Southern Illinois 53 Louisville 72

 

Western Carolina @ UMASS (-14) 7:00 pm EST

Pick: UMASS (-14)

UMASS dominates Western Carolina in key offensive stats; they lead the Catamounts in total scoring, field goal percentage, three point percentage, free throw percentage, and total rebounding.  The culmination of high octane offense and the ability to slow down Western Carolina’s offense should result in a nice cover for the Minutemen.

Western Carolina 62 UMASS 78

 

UC Davis (-8) @ Sacramento State 10:05 pm EST

Pick: UC Davis (-8)

UC Davis, like UMASS, dominates Sacramento State in most offensive categories.  This includes Senior Forward Chima Moneke who is averaging 24 points a game.  All signs towards a UC Davis cover.

UC Davis 73 Sacramento State 55
